Thanks for you comments everyone, they're much appreciated. No, Winifred, my recall is a bit slow, so I know I wouldn't be able to perform under pressure. An acquaintance of mine was on Mastermind, but he was knocked out of the semi final last week as a result of his brain blanking in his specialist round - and he knows much more rubbish than I do! I don't even do pub quizzes (I can't afford the beer!) so I'll just remain an avid armchair fan.
